Calcium-intercalated multilayer silicene CaSi2 exhibits a massless Dirac-cone π-electron-band dispersion like graphene, while the Dirac point is about 2 eV away from the Fermi level due to diiimide-based charge transfer from the Ca atoms to the silicene layers. This indicates that the graphene-like electronic structure with a massless Dirac cone is stably formed in the metal-intercalated multilayer silicene.
